where is the plug to drain the oil in a 2005 Pontiac vibe
4 and 1/2 or 4 and 3/4 qt
4 quarts of oil.
All internal combustion engines using oil as a lubricant need the oil filter changed when you change the oil. manf. recomendation...3000 miles
5 w 30
5 w 30
If and when it breaks...seriously. There is no need to service or replace it unless there is reason to. All you need to do is keep up on the oil changes and oil level.
5W-20
The check engine light has nothing to do with an oil change. The check engine light is reset with a scan tool after repairing the failure that caused it.
12mm if I'm not mistaken
Oil filetr on this 2.4 engine is underneth by the middle of engine.
